Question

Wouldn't it depend on the fitment of your tyres? If you went too low you wouldn't be able to clear the wheel arches while turning hard. I have 17s and a 215/40. I couldn't use 215/45 because that would cause rubbing.

So I can now drop the wagon down by about 35mm without any worries.

H&R's with MRT solid drop links, standard shocks and 18 Radius R3's wearing 215/35/18.

45mm drop. No-probs.

Hey Dougster - with that little rubber, does your bum get sore?
